Smart rings are gaining traction, with new manufacturers like RTECH entering the fray. Their Y-RING boasts a bunch of features beyond just health tracking.
Blaupunkt Y-RING specs:
The Y-RING utilizes NFC technology for contactless payments, eliminating the need to fumble for phones or wallets. This extends to access control, allowing users to unlock smart doors with a simple tap.
For convenience, the ring includes gesture control. You can double-tap to control music playback or take photos. The ring is made from durable titanium and is water-resistant up to 10 ATM, making it suitable for swimming.
Health tracking features include sensors for temperature, heart rate, activity, and blood oxygen. It also monitors stress levels and sleep quality. The battery lasts up to a week on a single charge.
Pricing & availability
The Y-RING is currently available for pre-order on Kickstarter, starting at $179.
In related news, Amazfit has now made its Helio smart ring available in the US market. This smart ring was initially unveiled at CES 2024, and it was healed at the start of this year. The ring comes with some standout features, such as a titanium alloy unibody that weighs just 3.8 grams, and a PeakBeat algorithm to provide insights like VO2 Max, training load, and training effect.
Other features include comprehensive health tracking including heart rate monitor, SpO2, stress, and sleep tracker. It also provides a readiness score by monitoring the user’s sleep quality and physical exertion levels.
